Driving the U.S. Army/CENTRIX Financial/Rally's Chevrolet as a member
of MB2 Motorsports driver development program, Kinser started from the
pole and led 83 of 113 laps.

"This is sweet," said the 20-year-old son of many-time World of Outlaws
sprint car champion Steve Kinser. "MB2 gave me a great car and the
Hendrick engine was awesome."

Kinser, who took the checkered flag 0.168 seconds ahead of Kyle
Krisiloff, didn't have much time to enjoy the Food World 300 victory.
Following the customary Victory Lane photos and media interviews, he
boarded a private airplane for Williams Grove, Pa. to compete in Saturday
night's World of Outlaws main feature.

The only glitch for Kinser at Talladega's 2.66-mile oval was when he
violated the blend line rule as he was exiting pit road near the
mid-point of the race. The penalty relegated him from first to 17th
place.

"I made a mistake but it turned out to be a good thing because it gave me
more experience working the draft," said Kinser, who led 49 of the first
51 laps.

Kinser, who was competing in only his second career ARCA race, sliced and
diced his way back to the front with the precision of a savvy veteran. He
regained the lead on Lap 80 and held the front-running position for the
remainder of the race.

"Kraig did a fantastic job -- he was incredibly poised for his first
superspeedway race," said Doug Randolph, who handled the crew chief
duties. "He made that one mistake, but he didn't get flustered. He only
got better as the race went on. He's been a pleasure to work with."

Along with guidance from Randolph and team spotter Roman
Pemberton, Kinser also received advice from 75-year-old Hall of Fame
driver, Red Farmer, who called Kinser in Victory Lane to congratulate
him.

"Red is a great teacher and I really appreciate the time he spent with me
during our test session at Talladega," said Kinser.

Kinser's father, who won an IROC race at Talladega in 1994, was back in
Pennsylvania preparing for Saturday night's sprint car race. He was given
a play-by-play of the closing laps via cell phone from his boyhood friend
and team pilot Chuck Myers.

"Steve didn't say much, but I've known him for many years and knew he was
very happy and very proud of his son," said Myers.

Kinser, who won the prestigious Knoxville Nationals sprint car race in
central Iowa in August, was asked about his future in post-race
interviews.

"I'd like to become a stock car driver," he said. "I am very happy with
my affiliation with MB2 and hope to progress with its driver development
program."

In Kinser's first ARCA race in August at Michigan International Speedway,
he qualified second and finished eighth.

"No question, Kraig has the racing DNA," said Jay Frye, MB2's CEO and
general manager. "We're proud of not only the way he has competed for us,
but also the professional and humble way he conducts himself both on and
off the track."
